The tango is generally thought to have developed in the late 19th century in working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires where natives mixed with slave and European immigrant populations. The locals are very proud of this now world renown dance form.
We got a tango lesson from experts and then tried it out for ourselves.

La Boca is a working-class neighborhood in Buenos Aires that contributed to the tango's origin. It is a colorful area where two and three families often live in poor, cramped housing but where the passion for life is obvious. Mel could have spent several hours there photographing the many captivating sights.
